L’Unieuro Forlì wins game 1 of Serie A2 playoffs against They lived For 87-71a match never in question and in which, encouraged by his own audience (3,376 in attendance), he did everything that coach Martin he asked during the press conference to present the match.
CINCIARINI vote 7: these are his games, the ones in which the opponent puts his hands on you and then you need all your experience to dot the classic i’s. He comes away with 16 pts. in 15 minutes of play and with the last quarter as a spectator, the result of an excellent 5/7 from the field and 5/6 from the line, also topped off with 1 rebound, 1 turnover and 1 assist. CINCIA IS THERE
VALENTINI rating 6.5: plays a good game after a first quarter in which he struggles to get going. He grows at distance and he too brings his brick against a very rough opponent. The assist to Pascolo on the pick and roll was superb for 85-61. However, he must not exceed and overdo it and must absolutely avoid questionable plays like the one in the last period (ball behind his back) which only have the result of heating up the spirits and making the contest more hostile. The coach was good at calling a time-out and leaving him permanently on the bench. For him 24′ on the parquet, 7 pts. 1 rebound, 1 steal and 6 assists. COMFORTING
ZAMPINI rating 8: now it’s a delicious confirmation. And when Allen passed away he demonstrated that he knew how to take on even more responsibility. He starts with a 10-point first quarter and an escalation of decisive plays. After a second period at the service of his teammates, in the third he returns to dictate the law and attack the rim with a consistency that Peroni and his teammates suffered beyond measure. The assist to Cinciarini on a recovered ball and a counterattack for the 66-43 is something to see and review a thousand times. He plays 21 ′, scores 18 points. with 7/12 from the field, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 5 assists. TOTAL PLAYER
TASSONE vote 7: it’s the wonderful surprise of game 1. The coach gives him ownership at the start of all the quarters and he responds with a performance of the highest level both from a defensive point of view and from the point of view of putting his teammates at the service. He seasoned his excellent connection work with a triple that blew away the over 3,000 at the Unieuro Arena. If the coach was looking for something more from everyone, he certainly offered a more than positive response. For him 23′ on the parquet, 3 pts. 1 rebound, 1 turnover and 3 assists. GOOD GOOD
JOHNSON vote 6: starting from minimum wage. He starts very strong at the start but then drops out of the match a bit due to a sort of argument with the medium and long range shot. He scores all 6 points in the first 10 minutes of the game, then in the middle of a bit of rest he fires blanks, makes 2 blocks and loses 2 balls. SEASONAL MINIMUM
PASTURE vote 8: probably the best of game 1. He has a superior level of basketball intelligence, despite this, we are amazed every time by his plays, such as the defensive block and the following tap-in for 47-31 in the second quarter. He fights for all the balls, dirty all the passing lines and deals with an industrial quantity of loose balls under the boards. Mortiferous with the movement of him in fade away. He ends his 22′ of play with 12 pts. the result of an important 6/7 from the field, 1 block, 9 rebounds, 1 turnover, 2 assists and a remarkable 22 rating. INFINITE
MAGRO rating 6.5: he also starts very strong in the first quarter with 8 pts. and 6/6 from the bezel. Then, as a matter of rotations, matches and needs, he alternates between the field and the bench, but it seemed clear how the team worked to look for him inside the area and how he became more in tune with his teammates. His match lasts 16′, 10 pts. with a glacial 6/6 from the foul line, 4 rebounds and 1 turnover. GROWING
POLLONE rating 6.5: in defense he does his usual bulldog work, while in attack he inflames the crowd with a triple in the second quarter. Then also in light of the gap the coach saves him a lot of energy, but when he returns he leads his teammates to a solid and suffocating defense as he likes. In his 21′ of play, 3 pts. 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 assists. WARRANTY
BORCIU ng vote
MUNARI rating 6.5: plays 10 minutes round and round and makes 1/1 three to which he adds 1 rebound. Not much but a sign of consideration and proper awareness. PRESENT
ZILIO vote 6: plays 4 minutes in which he has the time and skill to score his first field goal among professionals. He tries again on a couple more occasions with no luck. Also 2 rebounds for him. HAPPY
RADONJIC rating 6.5: the basket he makes in the last quarter is of excellent workmanship. He attacks the rim in the third period with reverse support which is the sign of a player who has grown very much from all points of view. In defense he always fights like a toy soldier, but it’s the triple on the counterattack in the third period that leaves the Unieuro Arena crowd scratching their hands. He’s a warrior, but he’s also a giver and the audience appreciates him beyond measure. For him 20 minutes of play, 7 pts. 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 assist. GENEROUS
ALL. MARTINO vote 8: the audience at the Unieuro Arena dedicated over 1 minute of chants to him as had rarely happened in the modern era of Forlì basketball. But the truth is that this tribute is all deserved. He chooses intelligent quintets, manages the rotations like clockwork and involves all the men available, obtaining 110% from each of them. In the conference he had declared that he was satisfied that each of his boys did as best as possible what he had always done during the season. Starting from Tassone, up to Munari and Zilio he was able to get the best possible from everyone. ALCHEMIST
